I've been the Cost Analyst before... and could no longer do it. Always pressed for "just enough" then once asked an engineer if he would be pilot or fly in something that was "just enough", let alone be a passenger... guess keeping his job was more important than truthfully answering my questions.
Perspective changes everything... I drive my Common Rail through a lot of desert in the summer. A HPFP design that fails puts my life in jeopardy. Motor doesn't run, neither does the A/C.
Bosch needs to put some big wigs out there to drive 200,000 miles in my shoes, with a failure, instead of their quarterly performance incentives being in place, which only motivates short term gains, not long term.
In my opinion, when it comes to Common Rail... Bosch Systems, really is BS.
